UNSCA statement, agreed by the 15-nation council, condemned last week's attacks "in the strongest terms" and expressed condolences to families of the victims "of these heinous acts."
The statement read "The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed."
